Is It Safe To Use Timodine For Fungal Infection In Groin And Swollen Foreskin?

i have been diagnosed with a fungal infection of my groin which is enlarged, red, itchy & more leather like enlarged folds. Also my foreskin is swollen & red. The Dr said to apply liberally to my groin but I forgot to ask if I should apply to the foreskin too in case it makes it work.Also is timodine an effective treatment & how long does it take to work & what are the signs of it working.

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if this is the fungal infection then it can be well managed with "Tab griseofulvin 500 mg" once in day for five days and "Miconazole cream" to be applied on affected part three times in day, care need to be taken for good hygiene, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
